Posterior cyclodialysis cleft following intravitreal injection

Abstract

PurposeTo describe an unusual complication of an intravitreal injection. ObservationHere, we report a case of hypotony following an intravitreal injection due to a posterior cyclodialysis cleft and describe its management and resolution. ConclusionsPosterior cyclodialysis clefts are a rare cause of hypotony following intravitreal injection. Posterior clefts may not be visualized by conventional gonioscopy. Ultrasound biomicroscopy may be useful in aiding diagnosis. ImportanceThis report highlights a rare cause of hypotony following intravitreal injection and illustrates the importance of adjunctive imaging for accurate diagnosis.
